Hey lovely blog friends, I've been gone for a month (totally failed my New Year's goal of 4 posts a month), but not without reason! Between being published in an international magazine, meeting one of my idols, participating in a pop-up shop gone wrong (that deserves another post), taking my first solo vacation and working, your City Girl has been doing a lot.

I have been a pescatarian for 12 weeks! Remember back in January when I only said I would do it for 4 weeks? Look at me now *wink*

To capitalize off my new-found eating habits, I've been experimenting with new recipes. I've been eating raw chia seeds for over 2 years, but I've only eaten them tossed in yogurt. I heard about chia pudding and one day I realized that I had all of the ingredients, so why not try it?

Buddha and many other spiritual guides have said (or alluded) that time is irrelevant in the grand scheme of things. We spend so much "time" (for lack of a better word) obsessing over things we cannot control. We wonder, "If I did this in the past, would I have fared better?" Or, sometimes we think, "If i have that in the future, my life will surely be better!"

Live in the moment. At this very moment, not a minute from now, not 30 seconds from now, not even ten seconds from now - RIGHT NOW, you are alive and well. If you stay present and aware that all you have is now, there would be no need for anxiety about your future or sadness about your past. Live for now.

Do you want to pursue something? Do it now.
Do you want to tell someone something, but you have been waiting on the "right time"? Do it now.

The truth is, time is a figment of our imagination; the past is an illusion and the future doesn't exist. All we have is now.

Whatever your heart desires, do it now, or at least get the ball rolling. Have a great week!

Happy March and Happy Monday! Over the weekend, I ended up at Target, as usual... I think I may be addicted! I didn't buy much (yay me!), but I did score these cute oxford shoes by Sam & Libby. Spring is fast approaching and I must not be caught off guard!

The shoes come in this lovely beige, black and a metallic silver. Check out the whole collection by Sam & Libby; they have so many cute spring shoe options, I know I will be heading back next weekend!

Sunday Inspiration is coming really late today, so consider it Sunday Inspiration/Monday Motivation.

I saw this picture a year or two ago and immediately fell in love with it. It resonated with me, partly because I am an eyewear designer (hence the "sparkle"), but also because it's a simple sentence that's so powerful!

Never let anyone dull YOUR sparkle; you can't dim your light so that others can shine.

First off, can we talk about the hat in the picture above!? I spotted this little gem at the H&M store in Times Square NYC and fell in L-O-V-E! There were only two left, but I went into a heavy debate with myself. The answer to your question is, "Yes." I bought it! I'm glad I picked it up because upon coming home and checking the website, I discovered there were none online.
You can visit your nearest H&M store or check out a similar style HERE.

Now onto my goal updates. In my New Year blog post, I had a list of goals. Well, now that the month has come to a close, I wanted to share some progress:

I wanted to become a pescatarian and I have been one for 3 weeks! I feel great actually - not really "missing" anything about meat (which is amazing because I thought I loved chicken.)

I wanted to do at least 1 "Sunday Inspiration" post a month and did my first one last week (check it out HERE).

The ultimate blogging goal was to publish at least 4 posts a month. This post is post #4, so BOOM!

I challenged myself to do/try something new once a month and this month I tried Korean BBQ for the first time. That was awesome, I'll definitely be going again.

The other two were connect with bloggers & read more. I didn't get around to tackling those two, but I still have 11 months to go.
